BMS Garden Club has been busy harvesting produce to donate to the local food pantry (Loaves & Fishes). On September 11th, the club planted memorial daffodils in honor of 9/11. Club members are learning a lot and also feeling great about doing something important for the community. This pair beautiful pair of sandhills have also been visiting near the garden quite often lately! Many signs that Fall is near -- even though it's been hot and dry. Special thanks for the new garden equipment provided by Mr. & Mrs. Witherill's Homesteading Club. The new tools and bags are awesome and the new hose makes it very easy to water! Thank you to all of our community garden members for all their hard work -- without you, this wouldn't be possible for our students. This has been the best garden yet!
What a beautiful night for some Brookwood softball. So proud of all of our Mustang athletes!
Have you noticed some beautification that has been happening at the sign for the Hunter’s Ridge neighborhood entrance on Meadow Drive? These boys and their grandmother, Candy, have been working on pulling the weeds, pruning the plants, and will eventually install some new plants into this entrance area. They’ve been volunteering their time and have purchased items on their own to keep our community beautiful. We are so thankful they are a part of our Brookwood Family and not only showcase how to Be Brookwood at school, but outside of school, as well!
Also, a HUGE thank you shout out to all of our village workers and community members that also work hard to make Genoa City great…as we all continue to Grow into Greatness.
Way to make us #MustangProud!!
In a world where you can be anything….be kind, be safe, be responsible….

Round of applause to all of our middle school cross country athletes. They had their first meet last night and made us #MustangProud but a special shout out to this athlete: Ryder.
Not only did he place 6th in the 5th/6th grade boys division and 26th out of 204 boy runners in grades 5th-8th but this shout out is about the Greatness he shows as a Brookwood Athlete….
This past week, our middle school staff had a staff meeting in our library that faces the front windows of the building and witnessed Greatness. The cross contry team ends their practice by running to the font of the building and waiting for the team to gather there. Ryder was one of the first athletes in and enthusiastically cheered and encouraged every single one of his teammates into the end of practice….giving high fives….encouragning them to finish….and clapping them in.
Being a Brookwood Athlete isn’t all just about winning or placing but it’s about doing your best, being a team player, putting your best foot foward…..and Growing into Greatness.
Way to make us #MustangProud, Ryder.
In a world where you can be anything…be kind, be safe, be responsible….

We are SO fortunate to have high quality educators as a part of our Brookwood Family!
Way to make us #MustangProud, Mrs. Bullock!
Last spring, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction held its first annual "Call for Student Art" with the goal of displaying images of student artwork from across the state in the Tommy G Thompson Center in Madison, Wisconsin. Brookwood Middle School art teacher Kim Garrett is pleased to announce that 7th grader Ava was one of 50 students from across the state whose art was selected! Ava's artwork is a colored pencil and watercolor painting of colorful fish and was completed while she was in 6th grade art class last spring. The selected artworks were based on composition, skill/technique, student voice, and craftsmanship. Well done Ava, we are so Mustang proud of you!
